Open translation for this passage
ἀποθανεῖν δὲ οὐδένα τῶν καταβάντων λέγουσιν ὅτι μὴ μόνον τῶν Δημητρίου τινὰ δορυφόρων·
Infinitival subject ἀποθανεῖν is governed by λέγουσιν; οὐδένα is its accusative subject, with τῶν καταβάντων as a partitive genitive. The ὅτι-clause is content-like and elliptic: μὴ μόνον ... τινὰ δορυφόρων means that no one died except one of Demetrius’ guards; the final construction is somewhat compressed.

τοῦτον δὲ οὔτε ποιῆσαι περὶ τὸ ἱερόν φασιν οὐδὲν τῶν νενομισμένων οὔτε χρησόμενον τῷ θεῷ καταβῆναι, χρυσὸν δὲ καὶ ἄργυρον ἐκκομιεῖν ἐλπίσαντα ἐκ τοῦ ἀδύτου.
The accusative τοῦτον is the shared subject of the infinitival report under φασιν. The future participle χρησόμενον and aorist participle ἐλπίσαντα are treated as supplementary/depictive accusative participles; the final future infinitive ἐκκομιεῖν is dependent on καταβῆναι and gives the intended action.
